摘要:

2017年8月2日,在本星系群矮不规则星系NGC 6822(巴纳德星系)中发现了一个瞬变,这是该星系中发现的第二颗经典新星。我们进行了光学,近紫外线和X射线的后续观测的喷发,其结果,我们在这里提出。这颗“非常快”的新星在$V$波段的峰值星等在$-7.41>M_V>-8.33$等范围内,下降时间为$t_{2,V} = 8.1 \pm 0.2$ d和$t_{3,V} = 15.2 \pm 0.3$ d.早期和晚期的光谱是一致的Fe II光谱类。H $α$的发射线最初有一个完整的宽度在半最大强度的$\sim 2400$公里秒$^{-1}$ -一个中等速度的类喷出物的速度。H $α$线然后单调地变窄到$\sim1800$ km s $^{-1}$到喷发后70 d。在哈勃太空望远镜的影像档案中,缺乏爆发前的同步来源,这意味着供体是一颗主序星,或者可能是次巨星。相对较低的峰值亮度和快速下降暗示AT 2017 fvz可能是一颗“微弱而快速”的新星。

英文摘要:

A transient in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 (Barnard's Galaxy) was discovered on 2017 August 2 and is only the second classical nova discovered in that galaxy. We conducted optical, near-ultraviolet, and X-ray follow-up observations of the eruption, the results of which we present here. This 'very fast' nova had a peak $V$-band magnitude in the range $-7.41>M_V>-8.33$ mag, with decline times of $t_{2,V} = 8.1 \pm 0.2$ d and $t_{3,V} = 15.2 \pm 0.3$ d. The early- and late-time spectra are consistent with an Fe II spectral class. The H$α$ emission line initially has a full width at half-maximum intensity of $\sim 2400$ km s$^{-1}$ - a moderately fast ejecta velocity for the class. The H$α$ line then narrows monotonically to $\sim1800$ km s$^{-1}$ by 70 d post-eruption. The lack of a pre-eruption coincident source in archival Hubble Space Telescope imaging implies that the donor is a main sequence, or possibly subgiant, star. The relatively low peak luminosity and rapid decline hint that AT 2017fvz may be a 'faint and fast' nova.
